SLC's Mac Jacobson to BYU!

[Joboots]

Read in today's DMN that Carroll wideout McKay Jacobson has made an oral
commit to BYU-what do you think of this?

[LeanderLions3033]

He had offers to aTm and okie state. And they both need wide reciever help. Why wouldnt he go there and stay close to home.

[AtownEagle06]

Because he's a Mormon! BYU gets first dibs on any Mormon athlete because they'll keep his scholarship there while he attends a two year mission for the Mormon church to get even more people to join the Mormon church...

[pack0808]

i was about to ask if he was a mormon?? lufkin actually had a player that went to byu a years back on a football scholarship and i knew he was probably not going to fit in. he was back in a year going to sfa. his name was clayton odom and an old friend of mine. last i heard he was at katy as an assistant coach.

[wide-e-wide]

Really? I didn't know that...
Did Dedrick and Tracy go anywhere?

[pack0808]

i am not sure on them but yeah clayton got a full ride to byu. he did not like it at all so he transferred to sfa.

[wide-e-wide]

Can't say I would like it in Utah much either...

[CoppellCowboy57]

I dont think meny athletes last at BYU, I say stay in texas

[YouKnowTha3T]

he is a good friend...he was betweem A n M, TT, and BYU...his sister attends BYU, he is a mormon, and he will play right away as a freshman at BYU... A n M runs a two WR set...he wouldnt be able to utilize his full skills there, and at Tech..well you talk about most folks not fittin in at BYU..think about a mormon at Tech... :)

[wide-e-wide]

Think about a mormon at a&m...
I mean which one of his wives would he
kiss when aggy scores a TD?
Course it doesn't happen that often,
so I guess it wouldn't be that bad.

If he went to Lubbock, Vince Gill would have him in the honky-tonks in no time!

Coach Odom is still at Katy, he is the head track coach there right now. I don't believe he's involved with football anymore, but he was a defensive backs coach 2 or so years ago. He is a truely great man and I haven't gotten the chance to properly thank him for giving me a real second chance when no one else would.

Music changes all the time and that's a shame. All artists do what will make money and not necessarily what they want to sing or play.

Ask him about that Jheri curl he refused to cut for like 6 years...I bet he
cringes when he sees those pictures. Clayton was always a cool dude...I had a bunch of classes with him back in the day.

I get a kick out of the guys who STILL have a jheri curl.

[wide-e-wide]

The king of the "curl" has to be A.C. Green...that dude
had one for like 2 decades.

[allendad]

The reason your friend didn't last up there is because he had no INTEGRITY.

He signed a leyyer saying he would behave a certain way and then did just the opposite.

wouldn't want a guy like that around my team either!

Which wife???????

The ignorance is showing all over da place!

Allendad

[pack0808]

dang allendad must be a mormon and we offended him. that is the only thing i can figure out?? i just know clayton tranferred to sfa after a little bit at byu i did not know he got into any trouble?? clayton was always a very good guy ask anybody around before you trash him. wait!! that is joseph smith talking!! i am having a vision. :) ok we do not need multiple wives now oh and blacks can join the mormon church now because i had a vision last night. ;)

[wide-e-wide]

First of all what the heck is a leyyer?
And secondly, how can you say a man whom
you've never met has no integrity. We are talking
about a guy who lost his father at a very young age
(under horrible circumstances).
Was always on the honor roll and an exceptional athlete.
Had the same girlfriend from 6th grade all the way through
high school and into college. How dare you speak about
a man's integrity, when you are clueless as to his journey.
Don't turn this into a debate on how mormons are superior and
lead an impeccable lifestyle.

And Donnie and Marie suck....

[pack0808]

and i was just teasing about the mormon thing do not take it serious. one of my best friends is mormon. i used to always tease him. we went to school together and played baseball together in college up in iowa and he is from salt lake city utah. he even flew down for my wedding. his brother is kelly downs. kelly was the scheduled starting pitcher for the san fransisco giants in the world series the night of the earthquake back in 89??

[pack0808]

lmao wide ;) donnie and marie lol i used to have a crush on marie when i was a little kid. at least that is what my parents told me. they said i would sob when the show ended because i wanted to keep watching her. i was like 5 i think??

[wide-e-wide]

She was a little bit country and you were a little bit rock
and roll...It's okay ...I had a crush on WonderWoman...
I think it was the headband.

[dragonsdaddy]

ww wore a head band? dang, i don't remember looking that far north.

[wide-e-wide]

AAAhhaaa...good one. It was more like a
crown type thing. I think she had a lasso too.
Better watch it ddaddy...you'll be accused of
having no integrity by someone that doesn't even
know you.

[AtownEagle06]

wow, allendad really showed a sensitive side with the mormon thing, but he does have a valid point with the fact that when attending BYU you must sign a letter stating that you will behave to basically mormon guidelines but i think he crossed the line wiht his no integrity comment about an athlete he doesn't know. i don't know what his true feelings were but maybe he just didn't like being surrounded by so many mormons :confused:

[Owned05]

Did he just accuse Coach Odom of having no integrity?


Oh yea, I didn't think mormons had computers. Isn't that against there 'beliefs' or something?

[wide-e-wide]

They call it the "shiny box"
Homeboy knew he screwed up when he said
that garbage. Talkin' smack about a guy you
don't even know.

P.S. Shawn Bradley and SheDaisy suck too.

[KT2000]

Locking this thread before the comments about McKay's beliefs get further out of control. BYU is known for having a very good passing offense, and also a well respected academic institution.

FWIW, Agree re: Shawn Bradley. Dude's on more posters (getting dunked on) than the entire cast of Baywatch combined.
